No way. CEOs have massive pressure for results from the board and stockholders. No way if Manning were a CEO would he retain the job for 7 years with year over year stock price slide.
I think Manning views this job like many NBA players do, as just another job. There's really no loyalty or deep desire. Of course he wants to win but he's not going to really scrap because the checks are rolling in fully guaranteed. Hiring a former NBA player as a college head coach has 99 percent of the time been a recipe for disaster.
Manning would make a great CEO for Boeing.
If Manning were concerned about public opinion and his perceived competence, he would have left after Year 2.
I think the biggest “pressure” on Manning would be bad/embarrassing media coverage like asking questions as to why he is still coaching at Wake with his record. Also student demonstrations would be embarrassing to him and his family. I don’t think either will happen. If he doesn’t resign at the end of this season the only way he’s going out is with termination.
Well the media pretty much asks that every day of basketball season
In his mind he is doing the right thing.
At $2 million a year I'm guessing that's like $60,000 per paycheck after taxes, etc...
I do have a good source saying that Wellman was let go. I do think the plan was to let Wellman "make" the decision to retain Manning because of the huge buy out and to keep Currie out of this mess. It would then make sense that Currie has the option to get rid of Manning after the season. Seems to make sense and if Manning is not fired after this year Currie will be getting a revolt much like his Tennessee experience. For those reasons I think he is definitely gone.
Oh, we remember.... SHAKA SHAKA SHAKA!
Manning will be gone at the end of the year. Based on what Mit Shah said at the dedication of the basketball facility I think it's a done deal. I think something the pH said about the contract not even starting and others saying that the buyout would be bad but significantly reduced after this year might have some legitimacy. It's probable that you would be subject to the full amount of the contract for termination before it began. Now that we are a year in the buyout in the contract kicks in. Could have been why they negotiated a week before retaining him trying to extend the buyout terms to before the contract even started?
like 90% of CEOs
Hadn’t thought of this until you said it, but normally Mit Shah is court-side at... a lot of the games. I’d say probably the majority. I haven’t seen him court-side all season. Think he’s upset?
I think that’s definitely interesting.
Sure he's pissed- Manning pissing everything away.
Stroke the check NOW, Mit! :thumbsup:
